To win the Senate, Republicans must win North Carolina. While its mathematically possible to take the Senate without ousting Democratic senator Kay Hagan, the chances of that happening are close to zero. For Republicans, North Carolina is necessary. Its the key to control of the Senate.
Obama Hagan
Its number six on my list. That is, there are five states where capturing Democratic seats appears more likelyWest Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, Louisiana, Arkansas. Then comes North Carolina. Assuming Republicans dont lose any of their own seats, those six pickups would give Republicans a 51-49 majority. And with it, the political equation in Washington would change. Republicans would be on offense, President Obama and Harry Reid on defense.
But winning in North Carolina is no cinch for Republicans. Two facts stand out. One, Hagan is extremely vulnerable. Shes a Reid follower who voted for Obamacare and most of the presidents agenda.

Mary Landrieu barely won in 08 when a black Presidential
candidate was on the Dem Ticket.
***************
I guess ‘barely’ can be a subjective term but Landrieu won ‘08 with 52.1% and a
121,121 vote margin which was nearly three times larger than her ‘02 win. McCain
carried LA by 19% so she overcame that Republican margin.
Landrieu is polling in the low 40s now but there are six months until they vote.
I think the recent change to Chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Comm.
was an effort to boost her election potential. Oil and gas is a big revenue item
for LA but just maybe she can be defeated.
Yes, it very well could.
Sadly, I do not think that many or most voters put much or even any thought into whom they vote for and why.
Voter ID does not take effect this year.
We have it now. Law was enacted last year, but it does not take effect until 2015.
Ok, then that veto was overturned in a later vote...thanks. Not much publicity about that here in NC.
Be funny if Brown wins and Ayotte loses in 2016. Brown is against creating 12 million Democrats.
I don’t believe she’s ever polled this low and Louisiana REQUIRES a 50%+ majority win to certify. She’ll easily make the runoff but an off election in December where she gets 41% of the vote with a 50%+ negative view of her? She’s toast unless she can score some major victory that gets the local Conservative Dems fired up.
Looks like RINO Tillis, carpetbagging transplant from Florida will be next US senator from NC. Not much better than Hagan, that’s for damn sure.
I counted up all the GOP votes and the democrat votes. Total GOP votes were 486,411 to the democrat’s 478,430. Libertarian got about 2,000 votes.
I can’t see a republican voting for Hagan, so the RINO should win the race unless it’s close the democrat machine steals it.
I cant see a republican voting for Hagan,

LOL...... Are you for real? You haven’t been coming to FR lately have you? There are a lot of vindictive people on this website. I just might be one of them. I loathe Mitch McConnell and all his crusty, old farts he has in the Senate like John McCain. I don’t give a crap if McConnell wins the General or not. We can still take control of the Senate without his old, wrinkled butt.
Hell would free over before I voted for a democrat. Most republicans feel the same way. If I didn’t feel like the vote was necessary I wouldn’t vote at all. Never, under any circumstances would I have for a democrat. I am 64 years old and never have I cast the first vote for one democrat, and never will.
Most Republicans you vote for are Democrats in GOP drag.
I vote for conservatives. Not RINOs. I didn’t vote for McCain, Bush the second time around, and damn sure didn’t vote for Romney.
